DeleteContainer Method

Deletes a container.

Syntax

azureblob.deleteContainer([callback])

Callback

The 'callback' parameter specifies a function which will be called when the operation completes (or an error is encountered). If the 'callback' parameter is not specified, then the method will block and will not return until the operation completes (or an error is encountered).

The callback for this method is defined as:

function(err){ }

'err' is the error that occurred. If there was no error, then 'err' is 'null'.

'err' has 2 properties which hold detailed information:

err.code
err.message

Remarks

This method deletes the container currently selected by Container. Note that, according to the Azure documentation, when a container is deleted its name cannot be reused for at least 30 seconds.

If the specified container has an active lease, its lease Id must be specified using LeaseId, or the request will fail.
